What can I say? I went to watch this movie after reading all the reviews online - Therefore with high expectations. Well, I was still blown over by the movie or should I say DHANUSH! Ranjhanaa is based on a topic that is so far reaching and yet is that much more realistic! Every scene is delicately handled and the emotional parts were so subtle.Everyone in the screen just melted away and got hazy when Dhanush was in it. He makes you laugh, cry, hate him, and sympathize with him at the same time. AR Rahman's music was divine and seamlessly blended with the storyline. Excellent performances by the whole cast - But Dhanush owns the movie! A definite must watch!!!

simply marvelous.... especially from a movie where d hero has so very unorthodox looks for a Bollywood actor but,wait ...u will forget that as d story moves on beautifully crafted on screen by the "tanu weds manu"(another interesting flick)director n acted upon by same guy.. Dis movie belongs to him only( heard he was d youngest recipient of the national award for the best actor down south) ... Dhanush with his simplistic looks,so very expressive face n true act oozes life in his on screen character.. With his earthly charm,he truly has carved out a niche for himself.. The director has succeeded once again in portraying our U.P. in such beautiful colors,capturing the mood n by-lanes of the people of eastern U.P. with gr8 detail.. Complemented by the so very fresh n beautiful sonam who seems like is going to dethrone d ladies at the top!!! Look for the dhanush's friend,a kin in all weathers,his sis who truly adores the local lad and not to forget abhay... In all, the director has managed to bring out the potential in every actor and has given the viewer some meaningful work.. Worth mentioning are the dialogues too which will both make u both laugh and give something to think about,kudos man.... and the soulful tunes to laud the effort by d Mozart from chennai ... worth a 2nd watch, meaningful one sided love story.... Majestic..

Anand L. Rai's 'Raanjhanaa' is A Well-Acted & Well-Written Film! The biggest plus-point of the film is, that, it isn't clichéd nor predictable. Its interesting, entertaining & heart-warming. Certainly, A Winner!

'Raanjhanaa' Synopsis: A boy falls in love with a girl & follows her in every step of her life.

'Raanjhanaa' begins brilliantly. The protagonist, Kundan, played delightfully well by Dhanush, is a hero to root for, because his journey is full of surprises. The first-hour is humorous & has a certain tenderness to it. The second-hour, on the other-hand, is intense & a bit depressing. Himanshu Sharma's Screenplay is Well-Written & doesn't end up being clichéd, which is its biggest asset. Though, The Writing dips considerably in its intense second-hour, it never really bores. But yes, a better second-hour would've only enhanced the film's overall impact.

Anand L. Rai's Direction is skilled. The filmmaker has handled the light as the as well as the intense moments, with dexterity. Cinematography captures the rustic look well. Editing is fair. Music by A.R Rahman is super, as always.

Performance-Wise: Dhanush is delightful as Kundan. He's an unlikely hero, but his performance from start to end, makes him an endearing & memorable hero. Sonam Kapoor plays her part effectively, although her dialogue delivery seems flat at times. Abhay Deol is flattering in a cameo. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub & Swara Bhaskar are mesmeric in strong supporting roles. They contribute enormously in the goings-on.

On the whole, 'Raanjhanaa' is a pleasant surprise, that entertains efficiently. Go For It!
